28 Days Later
 

I dunno if this a repost or not but i have to say that everyone should go see 28 days later. Its a really good zombie movie from Great Brittain that is finally making it to the US. i saw a special screening of it and i must say that 28 days later is one of the best movies i have seen in a very long time. No more stupid slow lumbering zombies, these zombies are crazy and strong and fast. Not to mention it has a really good story. Go see it when it comes out, June 27th, or if you are England, go buy the DVD.:)

I'll vouch for this. 28 days later rules, but I wouldn't call is a "zombie movie", as that will give the wrong impression (evil dead etc). It would be like comparing Donnie Darko to Back to the Future! ;) Its a really good film, which was very well shot. The early on scenes shot in a completly deserted London rule. It was incredibly spooky...The calm before the storm!

Well true, its not a typical sort of zombie movie, but ya deserted London was creepy.

Comes out Friday. I can't wait!!!

I'm considering actually shelling out the cash to see this movie. I dunno, when I first saw the preview I wasn't overly interested, but my curiousity has been growing as of late.

Saw it last week, if I had spent 13$ to see it, I would have been upset, but since it was a freebie, I was pretty entertained. I don't know if it was supposed to be a horror movie, but it certainly didn't scare me in the least.

yeah but you're insane, it says so right underneath your name :)

my buddy has been naggin me to get ready to see this movie, and since my gf doesnt like horror, looks like i'll have to check it out with him. At least I'll only be out the price of 1 ticket if it sucks.

wait a minute, I'm now insane too! Guess I'm movin up in the world :)

I can't wait to see it. I've been hooked on it since I saw the trailer..its those red eyes..

Screenplay is by Alex Garland. He wrote the novel "The Beach" which was made into a very crappy movie. The novel was awesome though.

Metacritic rates it a 76 so far. That's amazing for a horror movie! Can't wait to see it!!

I'm a diehard zombie movie fan, so of course I'll be seeing this one! The previews look so good. :)

Basically, it starts off with a guy, waking up from a coma, in a hospital bed. His room has been locked, but he has been kept alive on a drip. The entire hospital is deserted. He manages to get out of the hospital, into the city centre of London, which is completely deserted. He screams at the top of his voice, but no one is there! (This part looks really cool..coz you can see, that it really is london, and it really is deserted! They shot it really early in the morning, and were given permission to cordon off areas of the city. I thought that was really cool)

anyway, it turns out that 28 days before, an epidemic had broken out in london. this disease, Rage, is highly contageous. It turns those who are infected into insanely violent people. Blood contact will cause infection within seconds. Jim eventually meets up with two other "survivors". Not just has the entire country been infected, but the entire world. Its now a game of surviving day by day.

Notice, the word Zombie is never used to describe the infected people. I would strongly reccomend this movie, as it has a lot to offer. It is incredibly brutal at times, yet occasionaly quite tender. It has characters who are very well developed, and interact in a very real way. In the latter half of the film, the story starts to develop in a very unexpected way, which makes for compelling viewing.

The reason I would say that it's not a zombie movie, is that the phrase "Zombie Movie" has certain connatations, most notably; chainsaws, shotguns and flame-throwers :D. Instead, this movie is more about the reactions of the characters involved, and about human nature in times of crisis.

EDIT: I should mention that this film is made on quite a low budget. It is shot almost entirely on Mini DV. I don't know why, but that seems to bother people. I have read reviews on IMDB blasting this film, purely on the basis that it was shot on DV! Give me a break! So if this is a problem for you, then go see something else. Personally, I find that low budget films can sometimes come out better than they would have done with a larger budget. Why? Because on a low budget, you only have to please yourselves. You don't have a bunch of ignorant corporate fucks breathing down your neck, deciding what would or would not make the film more popular with the general public. Result: Slick, ultra-glossy Bland Homogeneous movies, with a beautifully high tech credit sequence! Grrrr....:( sorry...got a bit off track there. 28 Days Later Rules!

agreed. nice post.

Anyone remember "Omega Man" with Charlton Heston? The plot sounds the same. Maybe a remake?

when i saw the first teaser i thought that i might b e a version of King the Stand, which is not i later found out, its even better, I cant wait to see it

Just saw it and it was excellent. Parts of it did remind me of Dawn of the Dead and Omega Man but almost all zombie movies do.

sounds kinda like a mix of Resident Evil with The Stand... at any rate, im hooked... the 6 minute preview on the movie's site nailed me from the get go. I just gotta talk everyone into shelling out the cashola to go see it.

Fortunately I have a friend who came upon the pre-release DVD and he decided to show it to me 2 weeks ago.

I want to see it on the big screen.

~these xombies screeeeam~

Saw it last night. Great movie! Sold out show.
Only two problems;
1) The asshole couple sitting behind me liked to talk during the quite scenes.
2) It should have been rated R-MN/R-ZN

agreed on that number 2, wondash, but at least they got through the male nudity very early in the movie.

I seriously thinking about going to see this. The commercials make it look like what Resident Evil SHOULD have been like. And who doesn't love zombies?

This movie is the best I've seen in theatres in a very long time. I loved it.

I saw it tonite, after hearing good things about it and reading excellent reviews. I was all psyched for a really scary movie. It wasn't. 28 Days After is _not_ scary at all.

I wasn't expecting just a zombie movie, either. The zombies were different in that they moved faster, but they still have that dumb limp thing going. Why is that?

What I really did enjoy was the cinematography. As has been noted here, the shots of an abandoned London were bleakly beautiful. I loved the camera work throughout, actually.

I'm just beginning to wonder if are we so hard up for decent films that we call just about anything *great* and *the best.* This film was neither.

Just got back from seeing it. Thought it was a really good premise and setup, but after they find the soldiers it got really weak. Still, it's one of the best horror movies to come out recently....really hope american studios make note of it.

Nappa i agree. I have this on dvd it is out here in England.
They actually talk about what if they never ran into soldiers etc. It makes for a more interesting premise. They actually find a man in the complex instead of soldiers who has ideas on a cure. He is locked away in a cell with no contact, and talks about a total transfusion etc. The directors screenwriters then found it hard to keep this going with so few people. Interesting though.

What I didn't like about the movie is that they kinda took it on a different track after the survivors found the soldiers. Then the movie got too belligerent. I think the soldiers had a good idea in wanting the women so that they could start civilization over, however they got stupid in that they made the soldiers too desperate and unprofessional. I mean its only been like 30 days since the catastrophe occured, you're telling me that professionally trained soldiers can't go for 30 without getting some?

And it's also unlikely that the entire world is now dead. According to the movie the only way to contract the disease is to be exposed to bodily fluids (saliva, blood, etc.). If you can quarantine yourself from the general population, then you're a survivor. One would expect that if these were the only means of contamination that very many people would therefore have survived. I mean, if you can lock yourself in a buidling where you're certain that no one has been infected, which is a very easy thing to do, then you're relatively safe. This might be a problem in big cities like NY, but I'm sure that even there you could have quite a few survivors.

Anyway, even though I thought some of the plot was weak, I did think it was a good movie, and it certainly was better than any of the other stuff that was playing in the theatre.

*****SPOILER********



dont read unless you have seen the movie.....













Thats why there was that plane at the end that flew by and they were trying to get its attention for a long time and why the one soldier guy said that England was quarantined off becuase it was quarantined from the rest of the world.







*****SPOILER**********

Just saw it a hour ago, and yes it is a lot like Omega Man. I think that there is some long moment in the middle and the story with the Army Soldiers don't bring nothing new. Worth renting if you ask me. More of a drama/thriller than a horror film to me.

Yep. I saw it last night and have to agree with everyone on here. Awesome flick.

2 things though:

a) Some ass-monkey behind me brought his 5 year old daughter to the show. She didn't make a peep the whole time, but that's probably because she was too busy wetting her pants. Poor kid.

b) Another ass-monkey and his friend walk into the show about 10 minutes late and ask me and my girlfriend to scoot down a seat so they can sit together. The movie had already started so I didn't want to make a scene, but I was sure to tell him "THAT'S why you get here early, dumbass." Then I made sure I had control of the armrest. Oh yeah!

Great movie overall.
But like everyone else, we have idiots in our theaters.
Ones that like to make the telltale zombie noise whenever you know something is going to happen.
Or the ones who only like to converse during the quiet parts.
Geez.....

It's a good movie, but people who aren't used to the way Britan does it movies, might not like it...


But I did (of course, I AM a big Monty fan)

Here's why I think it would be very difficult for this virus to spread across the entire world; The infection occurs very quickly, and once you're infected, it's totally obvious (red eyes, bad attitude, vomiting blood, etc.). So initially it would spread fast, particularly in a city environment. But as soon as everyone realized what's going on, it would just become one big shooting gallery. I liked the movie because in the end, it was clear that the entire world was not infected.

1st half of the movie was good, but the 2nd half sucked ass. The whole "Lord of the flies" type feeling that came through with the soldiers just doesnt do it for me.

It's not a zombie film. They arent zombies.

I've seen it twice and it's fuckin great. I think that a lot of people have been turned off of it because of people calling it a "Resident Evil" knock-off, but it's so completely different. It's really an interesting survival story. It demonstrates the lengths that people are willing to go when all they can do is survive. For example, Major West. He believes that the entire world has been wiped out by Rage and feels that it is his personal responsibility to repopulize the world, which is why he allows his men to practically rape Selena and Hannah. It's really fascinating if you pay close attention

it's a really good move.
reminds of resident evil (in terms of plot and how the little girl (hanna) said "you are all going to die" when she was high and sitting on the couch). at first i thought it was a knock off but as it turns out, the story is very different.
also, parts of the movie reminded me of a home movie that a family would shoot, especially when they were traveling and having a picnic.
the music went really well with the action scenes, especially when jim went all crazy and killed all the soldiers

Good spoiler domokong, sheesh.

Thatdoesn't explain why they weren't able to receive any radio broadcasts. I mean I could understand how civilians might not have access to powerful radios, but the soldiers most certainly should have had some. And if the soldier new that England had been quarantined, then why were they so desperate to get with the two women? He had to know that eventually, perhaps in a few months, that help from the outside would come. Besides doesn't England have like a gigantic navy? The virus would have no way of getting aboard a navy ship or submarine. I'm sure that officers aboard those ships would have contacted the soldiers to apprise them of what was going on.
Again good movie, it just had several inconsistencies.

***POST IS SPOILERIFFIC***



My friends and I must have been the only people not knocked out by it.

It wasn't awful, but it certainly wasn't anything special. Most of the plot was hideously predictable (the romance, who would die and when), most of the characters were walking cliches (the stern army commander, the genial alcoholic father), and the attempts at social commentary were weak.

Also irritating were the plot inconsistencies (I don't think the rest of the world would wait two months for all of England to be killed by zombie infecteds before sending in help), and the guy doing the whole "I am in a horror movie!" thing and wandering into a dark building for no particular reason other than to raise tension, even though we all know he won't die because he's the main character. Plus, the biggest scare in the movie was a car alarm.

i didn't hate it, but it didn't distinguish itself as a horror movie. Might as well have been made in Hollywood for how typical it was. Then again, I seem to be the only one here who thinks as much. Ah well. I'm just glad I didn't pay for it.

I just finished watching it. It wasnt pop out and scream boo kinda scary, but more of a thinking mans scary. I couldnt imagine how to deal with things in the given situations. Also, I was briefly reminded of the ending to the Night of the Living Dead from 1990 when the soldiers began laughing and shouting everytime they bagged an infected.

the movie reminded me of Resident Evil

I thought it was pretty bad. I didn't enjoy any of it. My wife, on the other hand, loved it, so I guess that it's just a matter of personal taste.

*****more spoiler******


Definately a good movie, worth owning on DVD,

BUT!!!

As we sat there, we couldn't help wonder, "WHERE ARE THE GUNS???" Not to turn this into a political post, but I was reminded of the Simpson's episode where Lisa disarms Springfield and their overrun by the aliens who control them with a board with a nail in it.

Anyway, at least they should have broken into the armory at the nearest police station.

I was pleasently surprised however that it wasn't really the end of the entire world and that they were (apparently) rescued. For a while I thought the guy was going to get greased in the end a la "Night of the Living Dead".

a couple of things...


first off, to the posters, i have a bitch. most guys will ooh and ahh and ogle over any female nudity in a movie, but when a penis shows up, they're nothing but bitching and moaning about how 'gross' that is. get the fuck over yourselves. you fucking hypocirtes.



next, a few things about the movie.

i agree with mrap1 about the soldiers. i had a real hard time buying them because of the way they were portrayed.

i also had problems with the pepsi placements... it seemed overly intentional... i have a hard time with blatant product placement in any movie.

overall i enjoyed the movie and was gald i've seen it... i'm all about any kind of movie that makes you jump or freaks you out. great stuff.

Lebell doesn't England have strict gun control laws. I don't think the average citizen has a gun.

If you have gotten this far you have allready read spoilers. But anyway warning you anyway, more to come.

That was the ONLY part of the movie that I jumped at at all.

Okay, this wasn't a bad movie, but it was no were near its potential. First off the director needs to learn a few lessons on god damn pacing. He spends 10 minutes establishing the hell out of the fact that he is all alone in London and then just blasts through fight scenes and the what not. Other then that there was also all of the loose ends and glaring omissions. Like how the heck did he survive in the hospital? I mean he had to be alone for ATLEAST 2 weeks if not 3. Earlier in the film they make reference to radio broadcast stating that the plauge had made it to Paris and New York, but then the one sergeant makes a reference to Britain just being quarantined. We shortly there after see a plane fly overhead in some sort of "proof" that that is in fact the truth. If that is true then why the false broadcast? Then as someone else mentioned, why the hell did he go into the hamburger stad? I mean other then to play out a horror movie cliche (Hero goes off on his own and single handedly defeats monster) it serves he charector no purpose to go in there. And the soldiers. I mean what the fuck. They can't go a little less then a month without getting some without contemplating sucide and atempting rape and murder? I mean I would hope your average person could easily go that long (even in THAT extreme a situation) but a soldier.. it SHOULD take years, or atleast a year. Here is a small one but yet another for the pile, in the scene in the bathroom were Selena trys to get Hannah to take the valium (?) They come in and break it up before she takes it, then a little later you see her and she makes references to "these drugs". Also, how the hell did he jump over that wall? And if he can do that then why can't the "rage"d people do it?

There were a few others but thats all I care to think about right now. Other then that it was decent. It had some good music and nice cues. Had some real cool camera shoots although I thought the hand held camera effect was over done.

Also it WAS a zombie flick. I mean yes they were not zombies per se but it was that style of film. That is the genre that it will be associated with.

um well the guy comes in and breaks up the drug part, but you can see the little girl still has the drugs in her hand, but as for the other parts, good point. the only thing i could think of is that for the horny soldiers, they might have just thought that they were the only ones left alive, only men, and when the girls came they got overly excited and couldnt wait to "re-populate the earth"(Read: have sex, lol). Also i dunno how he got over the wall but the zombies couldnt because they basically were brain dead just running on pure animal hunger. They couldnt think to climb over, sounds lame but oh well. I think the part about the false broadcast was just a whole lot of people being paranoid, cuz think of it, how could the virus get across on a plane, if an infected gets in, the whole plane will be infected in minutes and there will be no pilot to control the plane so it would just crash into the ocean. just my take on it.

Good point about the spreading of the virus YaWhateva. The reason why viri can usually spread widely is because it is difficult to tell who's infected. But with the rage virus having near instantaneous effects, it is very easy to determince who has it and to neutralize the victim. Essentially because of the ferocity of the virus, it has no way of getting off the island. This is why the notion of England being quarantined until the virus runs its course is a good idea. But it doesn't explain why we have the freaky soldiers who can't go without sex for a month, or why they haven't managed to contact an outside country for more information.

I've been thinking that maybe the whole world did get infected, but not as bad as everyone (in the movie) thinks. The quarantine thing that the guy talks about in the holding area with Jim is just paranoia I think, because then why would the newspaper that Jim finds at the beginning say "Blair orders EVACUATION?" All the posts I've read here and at IMDB don't mention that newspaper. Also, when the plane is flying overhead at the end, we see some of the infected dying off, probably of starvation. I interpreted that scene as hinting that there was probably a military force somewhere that had the same idea as Major West, but they didn't die before that would happen like his men did. He had the right idea, but the problem was his men had already lost touch with their rationalism. 28 Days probably did seem like a long time for them, I can understand why they were already desparate for women to rebuild with.. Another reason I think England wasn't just quarantined was that the plane was from the Royal Air Force, not some savior US Jet Fighter. Remember, animals spread the virus too (as the pendeja eco-warrior at the beginning found out muhohaha). Just some opinions from me, post if you agree or disagree.

WOW. That's all I can say. I went and saw it yesterday with some fellow zombie movie buffs and I was completely blown away. At first I thought I'd be dissapointed because of the grainy quality of the DV footage (as opposed to film) but now I'm glad it was DV because they were able to save so much money that way and put it to better use elsewhere, plus the graininess of the footage really added to the athmosphere. The cast of unknowns did an amazing job too, and really performed their roles well. I always love watching zombie movies and guessing who would bite it and who wouldn't. :)

I dont remember any non-primates spreading rage. On the whole animals (horses, rats) seemed unaffected. The RAF jet was probably stationed on an aircraft carrier free of the virus.

Best Zombie flick ever. Great background, plot, Interesting tech and dumbass soldiers. in some ways it reminds of the 50's atomic horror flicks.

Better Yet PETA DESTRYS CIVILIZATION...it could happen?

This was the worst waste of time I've been too in many years. The grainyness I could put up with, but there was no need to have the entire film in soft-focus. Some scenes were blured so bad you couldn't even make out facial features if they were too far from the camera. The digital nature of the film was too easily apparent from the jaggies that appeared around straight lines, and the stupid digital effects they used to speed things up. They also follow the sad trend these days of filming most of the film from a distance of about 12" from the actors. Especially during fighting. Really annoying.

Ok, that's the technical side. Aside from that, the movie is slooooowwww. Far too little going on to keep your interest. This from a film that's attempting to borrow from several other films and thus can't even claim to be original.

Man this movie blows chunks!

Here is something else that I remembered later. How the frudge did the raged over run the miltary? I mean that sounds good at first except when you stop to think about it. How could a bunch of civilians who couldn't even wield a bat much less a gun going roar roar over run a group of well trained, well armed military? I mean we saw how well the group of just 7 (or so, how many there actully was) did. Think how well 700 would do. Much less 7000 or 70,000.

Luckily I missed that part. We left somewhere after the dinner scene with the bad omelette. The closeup stuff was making my wife dizzy anyway, and I just couldn't take anymore.

As for the gun issue, remember that this is Britain. No guns allowed. Even most of the police force don't carry, with the exception of one burb that was forced to start carrying for the first time in their history. Because of the sharp rise in gang gun use after the ban.


Hey, did anyone notice that a couple of times in the beginning of the movie (while the guy was exploring) the camera man slipped and everything was actually in focus for a second or too? Couldn't see a reason for it any of the times it happened, so it seems like a mistake. Better taste winning over instructions for a moment perhaps? :)

It wasn't just a horror movie. Just because it was marketed that way doesn't make it so. And of course it wasn't perfect; not many movies are. It was amazingly fresh, and done in a fashion that hadn't been done before. You don't know if the quarrantine story is true; it's only hinted at. It doesn't treat it's audience like idiots. It lets us figure things out for ourselves.

It is an ok movie, and it is a lot better than the usual Hollywood zombie / horror films, which I'm just getting so bored of. It is worth seeing, but it is not something you are going to watch time and time again.

Another low budget horror film worth seeing is dog soldiers.

I'm pretty sure Lebell was being facetious.

As for male nudity, I'm all for there being more. :D

How was the guy hung? keke

sounds great! Can't wait to see it!

thats what i thought, i thought the action was cool but then i started to put my self in there situation and thought hell that would really suck, i would kill my self

more spoilers...

My take on this when I saw it was that he wanted to kill something because he enjoyed it. Maybe I was looking too much into things, but the way he said "Hello?" in the burger joint seemed like there was something else going on.

When the Major asked him about who he killed, etc. and said that it was for survival, did you notice his reaction? He was freaking out. I thought it was because he knew he didn't have to go in there and kill the boy in order to survive, he went in because he wanted to kill something.

When he walked out wiping off his bat he seemed satisfied, and he didn't mention anything to anyone.

I haven't seen or heard of this movie yet, but I'll try give it a shot

I like it....actually a horror movie that kept my attention and made me jump in some spots.

For all of us who thought the ending was a little too 'Hollywood', Hollywood has decided to milk us for some more money with an alternate ending:

'28 Days': All's well that ends worse

I thought it sucked.

**Spoiler**

What the fuck is a virus that's not a virus? You can't just create a virus by showing some monkeys a bunch of violent footage. Pretty poor story IMO. The only thing I really liked was the way it was filmed with the burnt-looking film and all.

Just a few things. I think they were showing the chimps the footage to better understand the virus maybe? Why they would want to further piss them off, I have no idea, but that's what I thought while watching it.

For the other ending: anyone seen it yet? What happens?

Now for the horny soldiers. In times of strife (i.e. The end of the world, or so they think), people, especially men, tend to return to their most human instincts at the basic level (or primal level). This would explain why supposedly professional soldiers would try and take the women by force, as well as the main character's behavoir at the end. (Was it just me, or were all of the character's names very forgettable?)

These are just things that popped in my head while scanning the replies, I'm sorry if they've been said before. Also, does anyone else think this would have been an amazing video game?

-Ever-, i am pretty sure it was a virus that they named Rage and they were just seeing the consequences of exposing the monkeys to the violence. They were trying to cure it so they could use it as a biological weapon, send in a few monkeys to a country you dont like too much, and then quarantine the borders and just kill off everything that comes your way. And if it manages to get out, have the vaccinate the neighboring countries before hand so they dont get infected. i think it would work pretty well.

saw a poster for this movie in or around april here in the states, simply had to know what it was about (this was before the advert blitz during the month of may). discovered it had already been released in gb, subsequently "found" a copy of the dvd :p not being hyped up on it being a strictly horror film, i completely enjoyed it. despite some plot inconsistencies, it was a thoroughly captivating social commentary. the scenes in deserted london, the use of GYBE - East Hastings, showing the crescendo of his realization of complete isolation.. it was all very poetic.

I have read most, but not all of the posts, in this thread and havent seen this question, so here it goes. If these infected "zombies" were so pissed off and ready to kick ass anytime they saw someone moving around, why weren't they kicking each others ass? I could see if they had the typical zombie urge to eat living people, but these "zombies" were neither dead nor trying to eat anything.

Also, how does a bicycle messenger who was afraid to kill anything, even if it was trying to kil him, at the beginning of the movie go Rambo and take out well trained military personnel only a few days later at the end of the film? If he had been covered in mud and in the jungle, I would have thought I was watching Sheen in Apocolypse Now.

I went into this movie with an open mind, because I had big hopes for this sucker but have seen too many junky horror flics lately. But for some reason the whole movie just didnt jive with me, and it really seemed like a great concept that could possibly have saved the horror movie genre from the Scream and Final Destination era, and bring it back to the classics like Night of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead, went completely to waste because they were too afraid to make a real horror movie, and were too concerned about making a moral statement like so many indie films feel they have to do.

the best way i can descibe this movie is impressively average. its not a bad movie, its just not that good either.

I have wanted to see this for a while, lost my ID though, and they dont let me in the movies =( stupid stupid looking to young for my age.

Notice during the climax how much Jim resembles one of the zombies? He's running around, shirtless, dirty, crazed look in his eye, causing deaths or killing people himself, etc. Part of the point being, I think, that it doesn't take a virus (called Rage, note--nice touch) to make someone go violently/homicidally berserk; the potential's there in even the most innocuous British bicycle messenger. Not exactly the most groundbreaking social commentary, but it's cool to see the point made in what on the surface looks like escapist entertainment.

Has anyone seen the second ending?

or does anyone know where i can get a copy of the British DVD?

The grainy picture quality was irritating. Good idea for a movie, but like so many other movies, it became dumb at the end.

I don't understand why so many people have "technical" problems with this film. It is a horror movie, not a documentary. You're not supposed to be given all the answers, you have to figure some things out for yourself. Just because something wasn't completely explained doesn't mean it was a plot-hole.

I think you're thinking too hard and trying to find problems with the film. I loved it, thought it was the most intelligent movie of it's kind, ever. And of course it's an indie film, so you gotta dig that kind of thing to begin with, imo, in order to truly appreciate what Alex Garland wrote and Danny Boyle directed.

I thought it was one of the coolest "horror" (if you want to call it that) movies ever. Great story and brilliant camera work

saw this last night. a HUGE let down. maybe everyone hyped it up too much or something, but it was hugely predictable. meet character, that character dies. meet another character, that character dies. blah blah. and it did the generic sam raimi "zombie cam" so that you knew when the zombies were gonna jump out. I don't know what the big deal is about this movie. not any better than anything else. the first half was significantly better than the second half. acting was pretty good.

I HATED the way it turned into the generic "oh gosh! now it's humans vs. humans instead of humans vs. zombies!" at the end. I wish they would have never met those military guys. the movie was good up 'til then. then it turned into 28 Generic Days Later.

anyone seen it for the first time recently?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

28 Days Later is not a zombie movie. The people in movie were infected but by no means zombies. Just because they're cannibals doesn't mean they are zombies. I swear I'm going to smack the next person who says 28 Days Later is a zombie flick :lol:

Sam Raimi never invented a generic zombie cam. Where did you get your camera terms from? Sam invented the Vas-O-Cam, the Shakey Cam, the Ellie-Vator, and the Ram-O-Cam. Sam Raimi never made any zombie films. The Deadites in the Evil Dead films aren't zombies either, they're demon possessed people. Wow oh wow I'll just stop there.. :lol

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Man I'm gonna punch the guy that invented the eye-roll smily face icon for forums. It looks like the person is saying "I'm a brat!" At least it's not the animated ones like at the other forums (way, way worse).

-Lasereth

This forum doesn't use it to much, thank god. Yes, it is the worst icon ever.

28 days later is still a damn good movie. One of the many dvd's i own.

I agree the first half of the movie was good until they decided to get out of the city and go under the bridge. It was predictable what was going to happen and from then on the movie kept getting worse and worse. Also the movie reminds me of the Omega Man and I thought that was a better movie than this.

aaaahhh brat attack!!!

seriously though, who cares. zombies, pissed off humans, who cares. you missed my point. if it bothers you that much, replace any time I said "zombie" with "humans that are pissed off and want to eat you." my point remains the same.


also, you can't tell me that Evil Dead 2 didn't have the awesome zombie-cam. and no, that's not a ® after the zombie-cam. I made it up. not really sure where you got ellie-vator, shaky cam, ram cam, or whatever the hell you were talking about, but the zombie-cam I am talking about is a term out of my imagination. stop looking into it so much :)


any human that is raging and wants to fucking eat me is a zombie in my opinion.


but seriously, re-read my post, and do what I mentioned above so you can wade through it if it's that bad. the movie could have been so good. but the last 1/3 just seriously sucked.
